I don’t consider Alabama’s season an asterisk, but the season as a whole. Opts outs, cancellations, lack of OOC games, conferences playing less games than others, etc. It just never felt like a real season. Alabama was the only team that didn’t appear to know that and acted as such. Kudos to them.

Some fanbases need attention all of the time. They get anxious and upset when others get deserved accolades

By some, you mean 6/7ths?
14 teams
Aggy and bama looooove bama.
12 fanbases observed facts.
14/12ths=6/7ths

Because if the truth be known Mac Jones Najee Harris and Devonta Smith didn’t have their noses swabbed one time. Was Bama the only team to never have a shortened roster all year long because of covid issues?? Sounds fishy to me

1) "Alabama releases statement following reports that multiple Crimson Tide players have tested positive for corona virus"--SATURDAY down SOUTH
2) ALL SEC team had to adhere to a minimum of mandated testing policies, and it was widely reported that Alabama did MORE testing than required.
3) Alabama, by policy, doesn't release names or types of illnesses contracted by their athletes. There are liabilities if schools do.

It’s called fandom in the SEC. We point out each other’s deficiencies and shite on each other’s accomplishments. Its just what we do.

OR the coach who is known to be a meticulous over-preparer was very well suited to handle significant managerial changes required to minimize community spread within the football team.
During the celebration, it became apparent by some statements that the team had essentially been in a bubble since Fall camp. They probably took 100% online classes. The coaches had the worst problems with it because they went back into the larger community at the end of each day.
The player gave up a lot to win a title...even more than a normal year. Just seems like the Bama roster wanted it more in 2020 and were willing to be closed off from others to get it done.

At least Little Sis U finally scored against Bama in their own stadium for the first time in three tries.
But it was an "Astericks" year so it shouldn't count and yall still haven't scored vs Bama in Tigger Stadium since 2014 eh?

Bull shite. This entire year is a mirror of the problems with the NCAA. Covid testing and reporting was left to the schools, just like recruiting practices. How can you ecxpect schools to be honest about positive test when they cheat at everything else. Like I said, nobody released any data on players lost due to Covid protocol, because they know the public would start asking questions. This year the SEC turned a blind eye in order to cash the checks. Injuries be damned for programs who were short handed due to honest reporting. “It just means more” mantra has a totally new meaning now.

Alabama and this board have just about gotten the best of you, SkyKing. People around here take your posts with a grain of salt, because they've come to see your hatred and bitterness to Alabama.
Now run along.

Your typical no answers to posted points. You always fall back on jealousy, hatred etc. I said this about Covid and the SEC before the season started.

Not an asterisk to be found.
I wasn't aware any of these teams from those years are claiming to be the greatest college football team of all time.
Why do you Alabama fans assume an * means you're not the legitimate champion of the 2020 season?

If you really believe all that then you are a lot dumber and more gullible than you sound on here moron

"Required weekly testing: Three times per week
How long must a player sit out after a positive test? Minimum of 10 days from the positive test and then a four day period of acclimatization."--Sports Illustrated
B) How can you ecxpect schools to be honest about positive test Answer: Do you honestly expect a school to lie about a student athletes health involving such a serious communicable illness, and let him play against others? Don't you not realize the school's liability if just ONE person came forward and disclosed it?
C) nobody released any data on players lost due to Covid protocol, because they know the public would start asking questions. answer: "Schools can disclose FERPA-protected information only after obtaining consent from either a parent or the eligible student unless an exception to FERPA's general consent rule applies. ... In most cases, student health records maintained by a public school are education records subject to FERPA's consent requirement.
D) Everything else you spewed is only terribly biased opinion, and is ridiculous if viewed without prejudice.
SkyKing, your views and opinions are total shite around here and you're considered a joke. Do yourself (and us) a favor, and find another board to infect with your venom.
